Sanity check

Make sure this is the right direction

350 direction Better when simple all-around drivability is the priority.
383 direction Best when more torque is the reason for the upgrade.
454 direction Better when big-block feel is worth the added size and support needs.
Replacement direction Better when matching an original application matters more than changing power.
